Tax Year Prior to 2020: When will form 4684 be available?

[KatrinaLO]

Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts Personal Use Property will be available on 03/04/2021. 

Please see the TurboTax FAQ's below for form availability:

• State forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products
• IRS forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products
• When a tax return can't be e-filed no matter what you do

The app tells me the form will be available 3/4.  The original date for the form to be available was 2/25.  Now it is 3/4.  I did not ask when it would be available.  I asked why the date is slipping which delays my filing?

Honestly I just went through H&R Block online for cheaper and the form was there and just filed. TurboTax is just behind on their end

This delay is being caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and year end tax revisions.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law on December 27, 2020.  The legislation includes $900 billion for various COVID-19 relief programs, government funding of $1.4 trillion and many, many tax provision changes.

IRS Form 4684 is used to report gains and losses from casualties and thefts.

Three types of casualty losses can be reported: 

• Federal Casualty Losses
• Disaster Losses
• Qualified Disaster Losses 

All three types of losses refer to federally declared disasters, but the requirements for each loss vary.

Forms availability says that the form will be available on March 4.

Thank you for the reply and explaination.  The form is available on the IRS website and on other online paid services.  I find this delay to be unacceptable and TurboTax should disclose this shortfall before charging for their product..

When will this be available for the Windows desktop version? I can't get it yet and just got off the phone with support and they couldn't answer this for me.  Thanks!

I am showing that your site now says 03/04/2021. I am at home recovering from COVID, so you can imagine being able to file my taxes would be helpful. I don't understand WHY TurboTax is having an issue when the form is available on irs.gov and other companies like H&R Block have what is needed. I thought it was supposed to be 02/25/2021, and that is what is on Google.com and in this forum. If you cannot have it ready, will your company issue refunds so that members can go with other companies that have the forms ready for us to e-file our 2020 taxes?

[CinchoSis74]

Yes, I am seeing you can e-File with other sites. I have always used TurboTax, so this is quite discouraging. Their site and Google had said 02/25/2021, but now when you go to their forms page the date has now been updated to 03/04/2021. Would like a refund so that I can get my taxes e-filed. This has been a real disappointment, especially when the forms are available on irs.gov and have been for some time now. Thought it was everywhere, but as another user posted, it appears to just be TurboTax.

Their (TurboTax) site and Google had said 02/25/2021, but now when you go to their forms page the date has now been updated to 03/04/2021. Would like a refund so that I can get my taxes e-filed.

If you will not have available by tomorrow, the last date, can refunds be issued? I purchased, as I have done for years, through Amazon.com. This delay, with no real explanation from TurboTax will definitely give me pause in the future. I wish your company had let people know amongst your MANY emails so that we could have purchased the right product for our needs if you were experiencing delays. How will you all make it right?

[AkinaLO]

That is the date the form will become available, if anything changes, we will update the availability table.

If you are interested in requesting a refund, please use the form below.

How do I request a refund for my TurboTax product?

Form 4684 is still not available as of 2.25.21...now says 3/4/2021...this is ridiculous. Will be the last time I pay for Turbotax to do my taxes. This is the 3rd time the available date has been changed.  I am going to download the H & R Block tax filing software today and do my taxes. I have used Turbotax for decades. You are now dead to me. There is a price to pay for incompetence. You promise the form is available then just keep moving the date to keep people from jumping ship. No longer, goodbye forever !!

[mushingirl]

Turbo tax I think you just lost my business.   Covid or not -- if H&R Block can provide this why can't you?  So tired of companies using Covid as their excuse for everything.   The rest of us have to continue - but it's ok that you don't?    Of all the forms that need to be available this one is extremely important.   Those of us that have had catastrophic life changing activities this year need the support and you just continue to take that away from us with all your continued delays.   I am now extremely disappointed that I wasted money purchasing your product this year because you got your money and I get nothing.  I should go to my credit card company and file a claim.   

Your delays ----Totally unacceptable.   I have been a long time user of your product but I think I'm done.  I'll be looking into H&R Block for this year's filing.   Customer service apparently is not important to you.
